This is the best thing to do for lent…ever. Certainly beats giving up potato chips which has been my goal. (for the past 10 years). I am a hyper procrastinator, and always about little stuff like you mentioned — cleaning, errands etc. Hope it goes well!

Wow that’s a tough one. Good luck with it Mic! And you’ll have to let me know how it goes!! Not sure I could give up procrastinating – I find I get so much done when I’m procrastinating

Ahhhh that is a good one. Procrastination, huh? The only thing is that I would be so scared to cave! I just don' t know if that would be realistic for me, haha. But I wish you the best of luck! Procrastination sure gets in the way a lot. That is for sure. .-= Kelly´s last blog ..Top 5 Posing and Directing Photography Tips =-.

Saw this post linked on 20sb – what a great idea! I don’t really ‘do’ Lent, but I should run with this idea. I’m actually writing a post about my procrastination tendencies and I just need to give it up! I hope you post updates about how this is working out – I’m looking forward to checking out this blog!

I also struggle with getting things done, but I agree with Leah, it helps to write them all down. I instantly feel less stressed when I have a list of things I have to do.

Also, this may sound sort of nerdy, but if I have a day off and a lot of things I need to get done, I actually write down a schedule (like times I want to do things), this way I don’t keep saying ‘I’ll do that after I finish this chapter/episode’ and I actually get stuff done.

This year for lent I am giving up candy.

I am definitely giving up fast food. Every time I’m driving home from practice I am just craving anything from any fast food restaurant. I usually don’t stop, but when I do, I’m happy for like 10 minutes, then after that I’m just totally disappointed that I just ate fast food after a hard cheer practice.
I am super bad at getting things done that need to get done. I usually make a list and get totally overwhelmed, but eventually end up getting it all done!

Okay I realized that I didn’t really answer your question – I get things done by writing them down on lists and telling Tim or showing him the list and asking him to help keep me accountable for what I need to get done. there is a fine line between nagging and keeping another person accountable, but we can have pretty open and honest conversations and really support each other with our promises and tasks. Also we write them really big on peices of paper and put it on the fridge under a magnet of you and Kent!

That is such a great Lent goal!! I’m so bad with procrastinating, so I know how you feel. I have such a bad habit of putting things off until tomorrow, and then tomorrow never comes. I think I’m going to try this too. Good luck!
